A LETTER TO MYSELF

My Dear Self,

To start off with, I am so proud of you. Life hasn’t been too easy on you lately, and
I am sorry about that. But despite it all, you have managed to keep your head up
and continue fighting throughout. Be proud of everything you have gone through,
and mostly, what you’ve become.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Everything will make sense to you one day. All the
pain, hurt, and frustration will become worth it. Remember, everything happens for
a reason. You are in the exact place you are meant to be right now. So breathe, be
patient, and trust the course of your life. Let go of all the expectations you have
created in your head. We both know you’re doing the best you can. Accept reality
as it comes.

Do not let people take you down or affect how you feel about yourself. Do not take
things too personal. Learn to let go. Forgive people even though they’ve hurt you
so badly, try and understand their side of story. Learn from their mistakes and let
that remain in the past. Accept what makes you different and embrace what makes
you unique.

I know you like maintaining a low profile, but listen up, dress up every day. Your
dressing speaks a million about who you are and how you feel about yourself. Find
clothes that fit you perfectly and make you look gorgeous. Experiment different
styles and personalize your style. You don’t need to apply ton of makeup if you
don’t feel like it. Just ensure you look presentable.

Build connections with people. I know you have been told before that good grades
are assurance of a great life. Well, it’s true if you are pursuing a medical course or
law. But really, as a business lady and aspiring entrepreneur, do not let university
GPA determine your success. What matters the most is the desire to learn from
people and environment every day and building connections. Some great lessons
cannot be taught in school you just have to learn them from people.

Create a life that you will be proud of. Make great use of your time, resources and
those around you. Keep your hopes and dreams high. Never let anyone get in the
way of your goals in life. Do not rely on others for your happiness. Be kind to
others. Treat people with utmost respect. Help others. Treasure your family and
your close friends. Be selfless. Be genuine with your feelings. Love like you’ve never
seen pain.

You are so strong my dear. You have been through a lot and come out on the

winning end. The world has tried to break you, but you never let it. Thank your
experience and ofcourse don’t ever forget God, for it has made you into a better
person today. You deserve the world and even a little more. You are smart. You are
beautiful. You are enough. You are everything. You are all. At the end of the day,
all you are guaranteed is yourself. Never forget this.

Love,

Myself ;)
